For those of you COMPLETELY in the dark, a US Airways Airbus A320 bound for Charlotte, N.C., struck a flock of birds during takeoff at LaGuardia Airport. Due to the quick thinking and calm demeanor of the pilot, the plane smoothly landed on the surface of the Hudson River and awaited the Coast Guard's rescue. All 155 passengers were rescued, most with minor injuries or none at all.
